Design Thinking
In partnership with digital transformation practice DYDX, Red & Yellow presents a 10-week online short course in Design Thinking. All we’ve been hearing about lately is “design thinking”, yet most people don’t know what it means. Design thinking is not graphic design − it’s about transforming the way you think, build empathy with users, and create and test prototypes before applying novel solutions. Within 10 weeks you’ll have grasped the concept and practice of design thinking and be able to transform the way your business operates and how you make crucial decisions with your users in mind.
